SILICON VALLEY VIDEO SUMMIT ANNOUNCES PROGRAM, KEYNOTES, PARTNERS FOR EXPANDED 2026 EVENT
Registration opens for Bay Area’s Jan.27,’26 meeting of video, broadcast, and AV professionals
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — The initial program and keynote speakers have been announced for the fourth annual Silicon Valley Video Summit (SVVS), taking place January 27, 2026 at the Computer History Museum. Advance registration is now open and remains free for qualified video, broadcast, and AV professionals.
Last year’s Summit drew nearly 900 professionals from 300 companies across the Bay Area. Now in its fourth year, the Silicon Valley Video Summit has become the annual gathering for enterprise media innovation in the fastest-growing market for video technologies. The one-day event is produced by SVG (Sports Video Group), which has served the production industry since 2006. Title sponsors for the event are ASG and B&H, both of which have supported the show since its inception as a local series of video meetups in 2018.
“Not surprisingly, AI is the hot topic for our advisors and their teams, and it will be a prevailing theme throughout this year’s program—especially since Silicon Valley enterprise teams are often serving as testbeds for proprietary AI media technologies,” said Martin Porter, Executive Producer. “This positions our show and its community in a unique and highly influential place in shaping the future of media workflows.”
To support the Summit’s continued growth, Gary Schneider, Senior Staff Media Engineer at LinkedIn, has been named Conference Chair, guiding the selection of topics and speakers. “Video is transforming the way the enterprise communicates, meets, and informs,” said Schneider. “Today, every company is a media company—or is striving to become one. And the new media capital of the world is Silicon Valley, where the largest companies are at the vanguard of this technology revolution.
